For individuals & small teams
Claude Certified Architect — Prep Cohort
An 8-week mentored program that prepares you for the Claude Certified Architect exam by building real systems — not by memorizing answers.
The free, self-paced route to the Claude Certified Architect exam works for some — but most people stall without structure, feedback, and real practice. This cohort gives you all three: weekly mentoring, hands-on builds, and graded mock exams, over eight weeks.
The 8-week roadmap
The program mirrors the exam’s domains while keeping you building the whole way through.
| Weeks | Phase | Focus | You build |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–2 | Sprint to unlock | Setup, agent skills, Claude API basics, agentic loops | Tooling + an MCP server wired to Claude |
| 3–4 | Core domains | Multi-tool agents, Claude Code, deep prompt/tool design | A multi-tool agent with escalation; a team workflow |
| 5–6 | Production | Prompt engineering, context management, evaluation, provenance | A structured-data pipeline; a multi-agent research pipeline |
| 7–8 | Exam readiness | Targeted review by domain weight, full mock exams, gap fills | Demo of all builds; sit the exam |
Throughout: weekly mentor sessions, build reviews, and two graded mock exams with go/no-go review before you book the real thing.
Exam areas we cover
Preparation follows the exam areas described in Anthropic’s official Claude Certified Architect exam guide — agentic architecture, Claude Code, prompt engineering, tool & MCP design, and context management — concentrating effort where the guide signals the most emphasis.
Note: exam format and policies are set by Anthropic and may change; we track the official exam guide and prepare you against it. KlusAI Academy is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic — see the footer.
